HOW TO MAKE FRESH BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE WITH HOMEMADE CRUST
To Make The Nutty Graham Cracker Crust
Step 1: Prepare the oven by preheating it to 350 degrees. Grease an 8 x 8-inch pan.
Step 2: Combine the graham cracker crumbs, rolled oats, ground walnuts, and butter. Then, pour into the prepared pan and press onto the bottom.
Step 3: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Once done, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool.
FOR THE CHEESECAKE
Step 4: Mix the cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract on high for 3 to 4 minutes. Then, pour it over the cooled crust and refrigerate for 3 hours.

Step 6: Remove from the stove and stir in the lemon juice. Let it cool.
Step 7: Pour the topping over the chilled cheesecake.
